M,
Shortly arrived in the Southly Septentrionic Independent Barbarian Republic, I succeeded in accessing -not without difficulty- to our communication network.
I haven't heard anything from my informant and nobody in his entourage knows his current whereabout. I suppose he has been either killed or captured and is secretely detained on the airbase. Faithful to my duty, I ensured his fiancée, on behalf of Her Majesty, of our full support in this situation: it seems that she genuinely appreciated that.
With the help of a case (filled with banknotes), an uniform of a KGB colonel and my best Russian (Saint Petersbourg accent!), I pretended being on an "inspection mission" to the airbase, at a day following a not so occasional drink excess. Suffering a serious headache, the Airbase Commander wasn't in a mood to ask questions and simply delegated a young female lieutenant to act as a guide to me.
Well, there is not only Russian speakers on this Airbase! Even my guide, in fact, would not have looked out of her place in a Parisian department store (except for her uniform, of course, but you know how such details are quickly ridden of when needed).
I took some pictures from a short distance... I'm talking of the mysterious aircrafts, here! Having been photographed by a Minox, the result wounds my artistic feelings but you have to make the best of things...
To make a long story short, this airbase is obviously the host of a massive french military deployment, with various types of aircrafts, some heavily armed, and an important support. The "what" being established, I continue my investigation to include/understand the "why".
Yours sincerely,
007
PS: some of the attached pictures show how much coherent and integrated the deployed force is: Those are screenshots of an integrated mission planification software, deployed on dedicated workstations in a shelter. Thus, please let this known around: We would not want to let our estimated colleagues of the Foreign Office being fooled by their froggs counterparts pretending this is no more than a "courtesy" deployment if ever this excuse were to be retained in answer to the awkward questions I'm sure we'll soon ask...
